Dear Friends
Iam based in Dubai and have migrated to Canada. I just landed once to get the PR card and then came back to Dubai due to job commitment. Iam planning land back after a year. In the meantime I was trying to do self-study to get prepared for CGA (Certified General Accountant) qualification so that I can take the test when I land.
However I was advised by an american training institute in Dubai that I wont be eligible for CGA since my bachelors degree is in Computer science (no way related to accounting) and masters degree is in Finance(Corporate Finance and I did not have any accounting papers)
Is it true that those who do not have an accounting background cannot sit for CGA? Is there anyone who has overcome this situation?
Kindly advise.
